Peace begins with a smile - Mother Teresa.
Have you ever heard that money is the secret of true happiness? And what do you know about career, fame and popularity? Do you think they really lead to that pure happiness that we all aspire to? Put into practice the steps of the article to get closer to the desired goal, being a hearted and sincere person will bring you great advantages.
Steps
Step 1. Be generous
Volunteer for social work, practice random gestures of kindness, and always try to be generous. The act of giving always increases the well-being of our heart. Peace and selfishness hardly coexist.
Step 2. Love yourself
Don't be too hard on yourself. Nobody's perfect. Love yourself and life in all its forms. Be open and accept things positively.
Step 3. Ignore the negative comments
Keep calm and calm. Ignore the negativity (negative comments, facts and people) that surrounds you. Try to be understanding: often the resentment is given by the inability to understand the point of view of others. When you start putting yourself in the other person's shoes you begin to understand the why and meaning of his or her words as the ego wall begins to fall.
Step 4. Be sociable
Be friendly and helpful to anyone you meet. Being available does not mean inviting anyone you meet to your home, but always having a cordial and affectionate behavior towards others. When you emit positive feelings, you attract positivity.
Step 5. Always avoid confrontations
Do not enter into discussions for trivial reasons. There is nothing worth a fight and you cannot change other people. Remember these two rules before starting a fight. Often it's not even worth it.
Step 6. Keep busy
Spend your time with something constructive. But also reserve time for relaxation.
Step 7. Think positively, always
Take lessons from the events in your life. Don't let anything sadden you. Thinking positive, sooner or later things will take on an equally good connotation.
Step 8. Be yourself
Always avoid comparing yourself to others. Each of us is unique in the world. Appreciate it and feel good about yourself. You have everything it takes, including a good heart.
Step 9. Forgive and forget
Don't allow hatred to grow and settle inside you. If you learn to forgive, you will be able to forget. Forgiveness may not be easy, but it brings with it a great sense of peace. Forgive for your own sake if you don't want to forgive for the sake of others.
Step 10. Be honest
Be honest with yourself, with your desires and with what you expect of yourself and others. It won't be easy at first, but knowing what you really want will make it easier for you to achieve your goals.
Step 11. Stay calm
Calm keeps hasty decisions away. When something is said or done, there is no turning back. It takes practice, so hold on tight.
Step 12. Guessing can be painful
Only you are aware of what is on your mind. You never really know what another person thinks or what their comment really means. If you want to be certain, ask questions.
Step 13. Remember not to take things personally
Rarely are the gestures and words of others directed exclusively against you. Rather, they are based on their dreams and desires. You never know how another person's life is going.
Step 14. Offer your services to others
True happiness can only be achieved when you stop worrying about yourself and try to pay attention to your surroundings. Helping your family, colleagues and friends can bring meaning and joy to your life. Selfishness, on the other hand, is limited to providing temporary pleasure. Obviously, there are aspects of life where it is important to focus on yourself, for example by providing the right amount of sleep and food to your body. However, focusing your attention only on your own needs will never achieve true happiness.
Step 15. Smile
Smiles are contagious. Smiling for a minute, you move all the muscles in your face and you can't help but feel better.
Step 16. Don't try, do it
By managing to accomplish even the smallest goal, you will pave the way for the biggest ones. Once this is achieved, you will feel like a winner and your mind will know that it can achieve whatever it is you really want.
Step 17. Never give up
You are a unique and special being in the world. If life brings you down, get up. Failure is not in the fall, but in the inability to get up.
Step 18. Always be honest with yourself
Choose your own lifestyle without being pressured by anyone else. Let's take an example, despite having a Muslim father Barrack Obama chose to be a Christian. Nobel prize winner Bertrand Russel, a great supporter of peace, has chosen to be an atheist.
Step 19. Understand that by being sincere and positive and by helping others you can achieve more
Step 20. Appreciate and cherish the value of love, generosity, courage and kindness, factors that can bring you closer to pure happiness
Step 21. Being a good person is a boon to both your individuality and the entire human species
Remember the words of Confucius: 'Truth and sincerity are the foundations of every virtue'
Step 22. Don't make comparisons
Comparing your life to that of others or to the past creates large doses of unhappiness. Enjoy and make the most of what you have.
Step 23. Ask questions
When a thought is nagging your brain, write it down as a question. It will help you focus your mind and not get obsessed with your thoughts.
Step 24. Live in the moment
Don't worry about the past and the future. Happiness is achieved when you make the most of the present. By focusing your mind on the past or the future you will simply end up disappointed.
Step 25. Meditate
It doesn't have to be a religious practice, the intention is to bring out your concerns. Don't focus on the thoughts that worry you, just let them surface and naturally move on until you reach a calm mind. Meditating means allowing your mind to find calm. You won't have to spend hours practicing, 20 minutes is enough.
Step 26. Get up early
Getting up early will help keep you from feeling rushed and allow you to relax before starting the work day.
Step 27. Do what you feel you should do and not what you think
Many of us act as we think we should, which is often influenced by the opinions of others. Instead of thinking about what you think you need to do to meet other people's expectations, follow your gut and do what you think is right.
